Kapawe'no First Nation completes ground-penetrating radar search

BY The Canadian Press, Oct 22, 2021 12:52 AM - REPORT AN ERROR

A northern Alberta First Nation says it has completed the first phase of ground-penetrating radar in its search for children's

remains at a former residential school site. Kapawe'no First Nation northwest of Edmonton says that finding any unmarked graves at Grouard Indian Residential School, also known as St. Bernard Mission School, is imperative to the community's collective healing.

The school was opened by the Roman Catholic Church in 1894 and closed about 60 years ago. The First Nation says the archeology department at the University of Alberta is leading the project and a report on its findings should be finished by the end of the year.
